Egypt has established many functioning Research Ethics Committees (RECs) during the last decade.

This network has been established to enhance the review of research and to help investigators and their research staff submit their proposals.

An REC network is believed to facilitate more uniform ethical review and simplify REC procedures.

More information will be available in the next few months as we try to enhance this website.

OVERVIEW

ENREC, Egyptian Network of Research Ethics Committees was created in 2008 to raise the harmonization between Research Ethics Committees (RECs) in reviewing of research proposals and to augment sharing of information and intellectual resources, policies and review strategies. This will lead to enhanced processes for protecting research subjects. ENREC is operating under the auspices of NGO (Egyptian Society for Healthcare Development, ESHD). Believed to facilitate more uniform ethical review and simplify REC procedures, this network has been established to enhance the review of research and to help investigators and their research staff submit their proposals.
